1 EPPO CODES An overview Anne-Sophie Roy (Information Officer) - roy@eppo.int Webinar for the EPPO Codes Users - EPPO Headquarters (Paris, )

2 Brief history Computer coding system: a BAYER initiative In the 1970s, BAYER started to develop computer codes for plants, pests and pathogens important in agriculture and compiled their scientific and common names: BAYER CODES

3 Brief history 1996: BAYER transferred to EPPO the maintenance and development of the BAYER coding system 1990s-2000s: EPPO included codes into a Plant Protection thesaurus (EPPT: an interface facilitating access to codes and names), developed a hierarchical system to reflect taxonomic links, and created codes for viruses 2007: it was agreed to rename BAYER codes EPPO codes 2007: EPPT was made freely accessible on the Internet 2014: the whole content of EPPT is transferred into a new database (EPPO Global Database)

4 EPPO Global Database Repository for all EPPO codes:

5 EPPO codes: a few general principles For cultivated and wild plant species (including weeds) 5 letters = 3 (genus) + 2 (species) S O L T U Solanum tuberosum: SOLTU An unspecified species of Solanum: SOLSS Genus Solanum: 1SOLG Mnemonic element: whenever possible, codes are constructed on the basis of the current scientific name

6 EPPO codes: a few general principles For pests and pathogens: 6 letters = 4 (genus) + 2 (species) B E M I T A The species Bemisia tabaci: BEMITA An unspecified species of the genus Bemisia: BEMISP Genus Bemisia: 1BEMIG Special case of viruses: codes are constructed with the acronyms Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) = TYLCV0

7 EPPO codes: a few general principles 1 biological entity = 1 unique code Change of preferred scientific name: Gnorimoschema absoluta = Tuta absoluta The code GNORAB remains the same Newly described species: Phytophthora pinifolia A new code PHYTPF is created

8 EPPO codes: a few general principles A code once given may not be deleted or used again for other purposes In some instances, often resulting from successive taxonomic changes (e.g. synonymization), codes have to be deactivated (NOT deleted) to avoid duplication of codes 1 biological entity = 1 unique code Species A Code AAAAA = Species B Code BBBBB Species A Syn: B Code AAAAA Species B Code BBBBB Deactivated

9 A few numbers plant species (cultivated, wild, weeds) animal species (e.g. insects, mites, nematodes, rodents), biocontrol agents March microorganisms species (e.g. bacteria, fungus, viruses and virus-like) 450 non-taxonomic codes (e.g. crop groups) In total more than species important for agriculture and plant protection On average more than new codes are created per year

10 What is the content of the coding system? For each organism it contains: EPPO code Preferred scientific name Synonyms and other scientific names (e.g. fungal anamorph/teleomorph, virus acronyms) Common names in different languages Elements of taxonomy

11 EPPO codes (taxonomic) Taxonomic tree: harmonized coding - parent/child relationships Kingdom Animalia 1ANIMK Phylum Arthropoda 1ARTHP Subphylum Hexapoda 1HEXAQ Class Insecta 1INSEC Order Hemiptera 1HEMIO Suborder Sternorrhyncha 1STERR Family Aleyrodidae 1ALEYF Genus Bemisia 1BEMIG Species Bemisia tabaci BEMITA

12 A few general remarks about taxonomy The database has not been designed as a taxonomic tool It does not display all taxonomic levels (only the main ones) It does not provide an exhaustive list of all synonyms (tries to focus on names which have been used for some time in the literature to facilitate data retrieval)

13 Scientific names Examples of sources used by the EPPO Secretariat Pests Global Biodiversity Information Facility : International Code of Zoological Nomenclature: Pest specific databases (e.g. Psyll list, WoRMS, ScaleNet, Tortricid.net) Fungi Index Fungorum: Mycobank: Bacteria and phytoplasmas List of prokaryotic names with standing in nomenclature: Viruses International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV): Plants The Plant List: International Organization for Plant Information: International Code of Botanical Nomenclature: and!

14 Common names in different languages Botryotinia fuckeliana (Botrytis cinerea) [ de ] Graufäule [ de ] Grauschimmel [ en ] Brownish-grey mildew [ en ] Grey mould [ es ] Mancha gris de las hojas [ es ] Moho gris: fresa [ es ] Podredumbre gris [ fr ] Cinérite [ fr ] Grillure des feuilles [ fr ] Maladie de la toile [ fr ] Moisissure commune [ fr ] Moisissure grise [ fr ] Pourriture grise and more

15 Codes for non-taxonomic entities Creation of a new data-type field to separate taxonomic from non-taxonomic codes EPPO Codes Taxonomic codes Taxonomic groups [SPT][SIT][SFT] Species [PFL][GAI][GAF] Deactivated codes [pbe][sfn][sin][sis][spb] [sen][sfs][spn] Non-taxonomic codes Non-taxonomic entities [NTX]

16 Example of taxonomic/non-taxonomic codes Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) tomato (direct-seeded) tomato (transplanted) LYPES LYPXS LYPXP LYPES Preferred name: Solanum lycopersicum Synonym: Lycopersicum esculentum Taxonomic code [PFL] LYPXS Preferred name: tomato (direct-seeded) LYPXP Preferred name: tomato (transplanted) Non-taxonomic codes [NTX]

17 Creation of new EPPO Codes Taxonomic codes EPPO Secretariat manages all requests Online forms/fees Non-taxonomic codes EPPO Panel on harmonization of data on PPPs is involved Approval procedure

18 Creation of new EPPO Codes Additional service subject to fees (50 euros per code) All necessary online forms have been created in EPPO Global Database Guidance has been added to the website

19 EPPO codes can be used in other IT systems The whole set of EPPO codes and associated names is freely available under the terms of an open data licence. Web services are being developed to facilitate downloading of EPPO codes (so that they can be used in other IT systems). Downloads EPPO Data Services The open data licence, computer files (in different formats) and explanations are available from a dedicated platform: the EPPO Data Services

20 EPPO Data Services: (create your free account first)

21 Who is using the EPPO codes? Phytopharmaceutical industry (e.g. Bayer, Dupont, Dow, Syngenta) National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) Research Institutes (CIRAD) International Organizations (IPPC, CABI, EU Commission) EPPO (in all its databases)

22 Achievements in 2017 With the help of Ms Grousset: codes for ornamental plant species have been created (for ephyto the FAO/IPPC electronic phytosanitary certification system) All newly accepted codes for the harmonized classification of plant protection products uses have been transferred into GD (mainly crop groups) A grant agreement has been signed with the EU Commission for the development of the EPPO code system

23 Achievements in 2017 Webservices have been further developped to help users to query the database rapidly New IT tools have been created for the EPPO database administrators (e.g. to add batches of verified common names in various languages)

24 Plans for 2018 With the help of Ms Grousset: continue to populate the database with more codes Continue to develop the harmonized classification of PPPs uses with the EPPO Panel Release the EPPO Codes monthly newsletter summarizing the main changes made to the EPPO Codes: new codes / deactivated codes

25 EPPO Codes monthly newsletter How to register? 1) Create your free account in the EPPO Global Database 2) Login 3) In your dashboard, choose the EPPO Codes Newsletter

26 EPPO Codes monthly newsletter Free newsletter addressed to EPPO Codes users sent by Summary of the main modifications made during a monthly period o list of newly created codes o list of deactivated codes with their replacement codes (if appropriate) Lists are automatically generated from the database For clarity, other modifications (changes in preferred scientific names, authors, synonyms, common names) are not shown but these modifications can be traced in the core database files (e.g. for users who are downloading EPPO Codes files via the EPPO Data Services)

27 EPPO Codes monthly newsletter and more.

28 EPPO Codes monthly newsletter

29 Conclusions EPPO codes are a harmonized set of codes for plant and pest names which can be used to: Avoid typing errors during data entry and ensure consistency of data over time Provide an efficient way of dealing with taxonomic changes and different languages in databases Ensure consistent searches within databases Facilitate data exchange between databases
